For #screenshotsaturday this week, I have a mockup of a campsite area. If you discovered enough secrets on the floors before, you'll be able to bank your new items and use the camp as a shortcut/save spot. If not you can still continue on to later floors. #GoblinGirlGame #pixelart #ドット絵 #indiedev

Top down 16-bit style pixel art of a dungeon. A larger room with a campsite set up in one corner with a lit fire. Cooking equipment and a butchered giant bug monster corpse.5 torches line the top wall with some sort of inscription beneath them.
Near the center are two statues of winged eggs, the left one has a crack running through it. A grand doorway opens to the North. To the East is a passage blocked by rubble.

The goblin girl walks around. An elf is examining one of the statues.

Found a baby songbird? Here's a newly updated chart!

A chart that explains what to do If You Find A Baby Songbird Out Of The Nest. Is it hurt or did a cat get it? (Cat bites & scratches cause deadly infections.) or, Has a person kept it for over a day, given it food or water, or gotten it wet? If yes, Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator
or wildlife care center near you. An online search can help. If no, what does it look like? Eyes not yet open. You have a hatchling. It's very young. Eyes open; feathers few & may be in tube-like sheaths. You have a nestling. Feathered; awkwardly hops or flutters; tail & wings short. You have a fledgling. Many sharp teeth; large claw on second toe. You have a velociraptor. If a hatchling or nestling, can you see the nest? If yes, Return it to its nest. The parents won’t care if they can smell you. If no, Make a nest from a basket & dried grass. Wire it to a tree. (Note: A few species, like Juncos, need a nest on the ground.) If a fledgling, is it in immediate danger? If yes, carefully move it to a safer spot nearby. If no, DO NOT INTERVENE! Though the bird looks awkward, it’s in a natural stage & the parents are still feeding it. If a velociraptor, has it seen you? If yes, back away slowly. Do not show fear. If no, run. Watch for others that may attack from the sides. FYI: Some babies (eg. swifts, most woodpeckers) only sit on the ground if in trouble. When in doubt, keep watch & contact a wildlife rehabilitator if needed!

Do you like birds? My new book THE BIRDING DICTIONARY is out today wherever you buy books! This little book is deeply silly and full of love, and I hope you'll laugh and maybe enjoy an obscure fact or two.

The cover of a book called The Birding Dictionary: A Tongue-in-cheek guide for people who find themselves obsessed, against all logic and reason, with birds, with a quote from David Sibley that says "Best. Dictionary. Ever" and a drawing of a Vermilion Flycatcher pooping on a pair of binoculars.

A woman in a long coat and scarf stands outside Sleuth of Baker Street, a mystery bookstore in Toronto, holding a book and smiling at the camera. The storefront features a large black and gold sign with the store’s name, website, and phone number. The window display showcases various books, with reflections of trees and buildings visible in the glass. A small sign on the door indicates that the store is open.

The Science Centre report says the roof is only in danger of collapse under heavy snow load and could be fully repaired for $13mn. A govt spending $1bn to get beer into stores a year early won't spend a pittance to give kids a safe educational space. Their priorities seem a tad skewed to me

I lost my dad a little over a month ago. It's been therapeutic to make comics about the loss. I'll be back to normal funny bird things soon. #loss #grief #sad #death

A comic called "a comic about how it feels". In panel 1, a standing person is fading away into particles, and a speech bubble says "like I"m no longer made of solid matter." In panel 2, the person is on fire, and the bubble says "like my anger is a visible flame." In panel 3, the person is standing on a collapsed surface, and the bubble says "like I'm standing on nothing". In panel 4, the person is standing on a normal green background, and the bubble says "like things are almost normal sometimes, which is the worst".

A comic called "grief schedule". There's a grid of nine alternating portraits of the same person, with half saying "forgetting" and half, greyed out and anxious-looking, saying "remembering."

A four panel comic called "a definition." In panel 1, a person is hugging herself, looking down, sad. A quote begins: "Grief is simply..." In panel 2, a heart-shaped light escapes the person's chest, and the quote continues, "...love, in its..." In panel 3, the heart turns into a dragon, unfolding huge wings. "...most wild and..." In panel 4, the dragon is enormous, roaring, distorted, beautiful but in pain. The quote finishes, "...painful form. -Megan Devine"

Put another way, I think the fact that computers are so different than humans is what makes them useful. We each make up for the other's weaknesses, and the combined system of computer and human can do things each can't do alone. Turning computers into a bad mockery of a human throws that away.

This is not a novel observation, but I'm astonished at how excited some people are for LLMs when they combine all the weaknesses of humans (unpredictable, unreliable, prolific BS artists) and computers (can't perform basic tasks that are trivial for humans) without any of their respective strengths.
